Whether it’s the uni yuba cocktail or the uni and white shrimp roll, we already know that they have a way with uni at Soto. But the uni tempura is another outrageous masterpiece! Pieces of raw sea urchin retain their freshness and juiciness even after being deep-fried and encapsulated in a crispy tempura shell. The three pieces of uni tempura are then topped with homemade dried uni powder that taste like powerful grains of pure umami. God, I love uni, and I love what they are doing with it at Soto even more!
